One Piece Unlimited World Red - Original Characters Revealed

It was just announced that the One Piece Unlimited World Red 3DS game will feature two original characters strictly designed for the games story, now while we saw one of the characters briefly during one of the game’s trailers we never really got a good view of it, well now we have a few. To me the most “stand out” piece of information is that, unlike a lot of Anime games, series creator Eiichiro Oda has designed these two characters himself to directly fit into the game’s main plot, that gives me faith in these characters and their abilities to, hopefully, impress audiences. So far we don’t know anything much about these characters, they may be friends or foes, one thing we know for sure is that they are key to the game’s story.
